When I served in the Army National Guard, I was told the first duty of the Army National Guard is to do what the name "National Guard" clearly states > to guard the nation. And the first priority of that is to stop foreigners from invading the USA.
And the definition of invading
? > "to enter forcibly or hostilely" (Webster's New World College Dictionary, 5th ed.) Well, the caravaners already entered Mexico, from Guatemala, forcibly, and one could call it hostilely, being that it's disrespecting Mexico's immigration and border law. In doing so, the border crossers tore down fences and physical barriers.
There's no doubt that the thousands of people in this caravan have exactly that same thing in mind for the United States. The solution to stop them, according to my National Guard officers is to meet the force with greater force, and use whatever force is necessary to stop and repel the invaders.
Since an effective border wall is not yet in place or electrified fencing, barbed wire, etc, this would mean possibly shooting hundreds of the caravaners, gassing them at the border, or possibly even using artillery. The military has its job to do, the question is can (and should) we allow Honduras, Guatemala and other countries to invade us ?

While viewing yesterday footage of the screaming caravanner mobs howling their way north to collide with Mexico's southern borders, I arrived at two possible solutions to deter, prevent or stop the brigade sized human wave migrant army coming our way with new lives in America in minds. Keep in mind first and foremost, the theme of the psychological warfare tactic both the American MSM and Democratic Party will fall back on and throw at the rest of us like daggers is
"Suffer The Cute Little Children".
Tactical Solution #1
Deployment of Chemical Battalions and a light, mobile armored infantry brigade with Scout/LRS capability. Use of non-lethal chemical agents and soundwave non-lethal weapons technology to put down the migrant mob, all coordinated with an Air Cavalry wing/Air Assault Battalion to track down and round up strays. Follow this with mass arrests while the migrant horde is "out having their naps". Load them on ships in the Gulf, and then deport them home, alive and safe.
Tactical Solution #2
Lethal Engagement ROE. Some American force, at some time now or in the future provided the migrant waves keep on coming,
will have to defend our sovereign border with lethal force. Either we will lethally enforce our border, or we damn well don't even really have a border to begin with, and will (or have been) overrun. Do I want to see innocent men,
women and children gunned down in a hail of 30mm HE rounds?
No I do not--no one does, however, as I mentioned, either we have a border and use whatever violence is necessary to defend it, or we do nothing to enforce and defend our border, and thus do not have a damn border after all.
Tactical Solution #3 (Bonus)
Six irregular US Army low intensity warfare detachments (300 men and women) infiltrate the northbound migrant caravan between our border and where the horde is currently located, and do their damn best to "dissuade" the horde members from continuing north with all manner of first verbal warnings and "scary stories" about American border crossing—even play on their tribal and Catholic superstitions, anything to prevent them from continuing north. If the migrant horde is not deterred, the low intensity warfare detachment personnel "take apart" the groups from within, with say, a few thermobaric grenades here or there or something similar.
Either we have a border, and we defend it. Or we don't defend it and then we have no border.
